A GoPro Still Doesn’t Have a Photo Timer?!?
I currently own a GoPro Hero5 and I’ve had a Hero4 Black and a Hero3 in the past.

Over the next few months, I want to tackle this topic in a bit more detail as I experiment with a few different ideas and solutions that I hope will help me over the the coming summer season.
